It's called "remorse" or "guilt." I had a father like Gerard Butler's character and he put my mom through hell by being with a string of women. His affairs "SHATTERED" our family, and he left my mom, my sister, and me. I guess you've never experienced the pain of what a parent or child goes through when a father/mother cheats as badly as he (G.B.'s character)must have (more than once). I felt for Maria Bello's character and Tom Ryan. Types like Neil Randall lose their conscience and feel they can do no wrong and it does take extreme measures for some people to ever see the light.
Abby Randall went pretty far with her revenge, but try to see things through her eyes just once. I thought the movie effectively portrayed the hurt, pain, and consequences of adultery. I've seen Hollywood put much worse horsecrap out in theaters. This wasn't horsecrap. Abby Randall was the vigilante housewife who never killed anyone but she sure made her narcissistic, self-centered, prick of a husband feel some consequences.
